Chapter Three

Two days had passed since then, two long agonizing days. Things were still tense in the small one bedroom apartment. Kagome had not let Carl and Lori leave, telling them it was okay for them to stay. If there was one thing she brought back with her from the past it was the sense of pack.

The Grime's family was pack to her, and while she knew it would be awkward to explain, if asked, but she didn't really care. Even so getting sleep was semi hard and it was with bleary eyes thats she crept her way into the bedroom she shared with her fiance. It was around three in the morning and she had just gotten off her shift.

A tired sigh escaped her lips as she sat on the bed and massaged her neck trying to work out the kinks. A small smile tugged on her lips as Shane murmured and looped an arm around her waist pulling her down on the bed with him. "Just get in?" His voice was a low whisper.

"Uh huh, something must be in the water. We got so many odd cases today." She groaned as she thought about it. She hadn't even had a chance to go over to the Atlanta hospital that Rick was being kept in.

"How are Lori and Carol doing?" She wanted to get there as soon as she could, maybe pump some healing energy into him, and to just make sure he was okay. Yet there small town hospital was being over run the last few days and it was wearing on her.

Sheane let out a tired mumble. "They went home after dinner, Lori said she'd come over later today though." She frowned not wanting them to have left while she was at work but understood the other womans need to get away from them and just breath.

"Mmkay, damn.. I might not even get to see her. I have to be back at the hospital in six hours." A frustrated sigh left her lips as he gave a light chuckle.

"Mm then you better get some rest babe." She could only smile as he pulled her small frame aight his and placed a tired kiss to the back of her neck. Her muscles instantly relaxed as his warmth seeped into her. This was what she had to look forward to for the rest of her life and she couldn't be happier.

She didn't know what time it was just that her phone was shrill and blaring as it rang non stop. It was with a tired groan that she lifted her hand and searched for the small mobile device, frowning as she opened bleary blue eyes to glance at Shane's side of the bed wondering why he didnt wake her up on the first ring.

A small frown tugged at her lips as she realized his side of the bed was empty, maybe he had been called in on a call and hadn't wanted to wake her?

Dread settled in the pit of her stomach as the ringing stopped for a mere second before it began once more. She quickly flipped the phone open and pressed it to her ear as she got up and settled her feet on the cold wooden floor of her bedroom.

"Hell-" She had barely begun the word before Shanes panicked voice met her ears. "Kagome!"

"Shane? Wha-" She didn't even get to finish her sentence before Shane voice cut her off, "Kagome...I want you to listen to me very carefully..alright."

Kagome's eyes narrowed and her body tensed, something was wrong. She had never heard Shane this frantic and serious at the same time, "I understand."

"I need you to meet me at the hospital. There is something going on. The virus that has been going around...its bad. Shit's hit the fan...people are going crazy. We need to leave as soon as possible.I want you to grab my spare gun and come meet me at the hospital. Carl and Lori are already here. We need to get out of the city."

Kagome processed the words, the feeling of dread in her stomach as she moved around the room to get clothes out to wear, "I'll leave as soon as I can and make my way there...where-" She was again cut off my shuffling and the sound of gun shots on the other side of the phone. She heard cursing and then the phone went silent and all she could hear was the dial tone.

"Shane!" Kagome paled as she tried to call him back. When she didn't get an answer she cursed and quickly got dressed before going to where Shane kept the guns and other weapons. She grabbed a handgun, making sure it was loaded and the safety was one before putting it in the back of her jeans and pulled her shirt down over it so no one could see it.

She grabbed her phone and put it in her pocket before she made her way out of the house. When she opened the door, she wasn't prepared for the sight that greeted her.
